Three ideals from the NAEYC and DEC codes of ethics those are meaningful to me:

I-1.6—To use assessment instruments and strategies
that are appropriate for the children to be assessed,
that are used only for the purposes for which they
were designed, and that have the potential to benefit
children (Cpstephesn, October, 2011).

Assessment, identify the gathering of important information in order to make knowledgeable decisions, which is an essential part of early childhood programs.

I-1.9—To advocate for and ensure that all children,
including those with special needs, have access to the
support services needed to be successful (Cpstephesn, October, 2011).

Children with learning disabilities have many special needs that can be addressed. Therefore, many different services have to be aware of the particulars needs in which a child can be helped and treated as a person with individual needs.

1-4.1—To provide the community with high-quality
early childhood care and education programs and
services (Cpstephesn, October, 2011).

A program must be developed to combined early childhood education and developmental skills that include comprehensive approaches that directly involve families. Parents must participate in their children lives, in order to promote long-term effective learning.
